The Leagues Cup debuts Tuesday when the Galaxy play host to the Xolos of Tijuana at Dignity Health Sports Park.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic put the Galaxy on his back and carried them to an improbable victory, this one a 3-2 win over LAFC in the fourth edition of a cross-town rivalry that is already pushing USC-UCLA as the most intense in Southern California.
“It’s the first step trying to figure out how could you have more compelling competition in addition to the competition that we already have,” Garber said. “We’ve been talking about it a lot here. But you have to walk before you run, you have to create programs like this to see the way they are organized, the way that they can be executed.
The tournament will be played entirely in the U.S., with the final scheduled for Sept. 18 in Las Vegas. But as Schelotto indicated Monday, it’s hard to imagine MLS clubs making the competition a priority over the league season. So Schelotto’s roster for the Leagues Cup includes six players off Galaxy II, some of whom figure to get an audition Tuesday.
